    Meal plan for this week has the aim of just using stuff from the freezer so I can make space ready for Christmas food:

    M - Carbonara and salad
    T - Fishcake and mixed veg
    W - Tteokbokki (Korean spicy rice cakes), Korean (air)fried chicken and pickles
    T - Fishcake and mixed veg
    F - Out for a friend's birthday
    S - Pulled pork, mac and cheese and coleslaw

    Breakfasts are a mix of smoothies, cereal and toast.  Lunches are mainly lentil soup as I made a big batch yesterday but a sandwich or two if I feel the need to mix it up.

    Some repeats on the meal plan, as I was feeling ill most of the weekend, due to medication and so had no appetite.

    Alot of meals didn't get made last week. I was suffering with nausea most of Saturday and some of Sunday and Monday ( side effect of my medication).Thankfully I managed to stomach some normal food on Sunday though.

    So, meals rolling forward will.be as follows 
    Cottage pie ❎ or I'll do it deconstructed style as savoury mince, mash and vegetables.
    BBQ Jackfruit ✅, something with Butternut Squash ✅ and Butter 'chicken'.

    Last night we had Dahl and Roasted cauliflower with homemade naan ✅
    Tonight is Chilli and rice with cornbread ✅
    And I'm going to have an attempt at Leek Quiche ❎  using Tofu at some point too.
